CONSOLATION.

Dear heart, between us On be no farewell,
We have SO long to live, SO much to endure
What ills despair might work US who can tell,
Had we not help in that one trust secure?

Those whom loves seepless yearning would
draw near.
Fate bends unto the indomitable heart
And firm fixed will. What room have we for

A LOST SUMNER.

we scarce could tell the hour sweet summer died,
Nature told on her rosary of flowers,
Pale lily, rose and purple pansies pied,
And birds still sang as in springs banished
hours
But yet we know the soul of summer has fled:
That requiem winds in murmurs hoarse and
rude
would chant above the grave of fowerets dead,
And strew with leaves the haunted solitude
So from my heart in grief love vanished.
And hope still spread anew her phantom feast
For the dear guest whom reason told was dead,
And life's fair temple lacked its white robed

CHURCH SMILES.

The Darefaced inconsistency OF the
church organs is apparent in their own
columns. They agree that allegiance to
Smiths religion requires of their dupes
q refusal in court to obey the Edmunds
law. Their names are entered in the
Saints calendar as secondhand martyrs,
provided they trample on the law. But
then no offices are at stake, and none OF
the elite propose to get caught. The
first Edmunds law is an 'iniamy," in
the language OF the evening rushlight /;
the later Tucker Edmunds edition is a
"scoundrelly bill, ," in the feeble-forcible
words of the morning scribe. And
yet when political Office and power are
at stake both these brazen sheets agree
that to take an oath to obey both the
''infamy" and the "scoundrelly bill'' is
a religious duty. The old Roman priests,
sensible of the shams they were palm
ing off upon the people, could not meet
without laughing in each others faces.
The editors OF the sheets in question must
indulge in hearty horse laugh every
| time they meet.
